Du Teng's primary goal now is only two, one is to help the High Elves tide over the difficulties and gain prestige, and the other is to contain the undead natural disaster so that they don't have the energy to go south. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The forces of the Undead Scourge are abundant, with a total of more than 200,000 troops in the Eastern Kingdom.

With 200,000 troops, even all the combat power of the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race does not add up to that much. Not to mention that the seven kingdoms of humanity have now existed in name only, and the only kingdoms that really exist are the Storm Kingdom, the Gilneth Kingdom, the Dalaran Magic Kingdom and the Kurtiras Seaside Kingdom.

The combined strength of the four countries is difficult to form an advantage over the undead natural disaster, not to mention that among the so-called four human countries, at least two countries cannot be useful in this undead natural disaster war.

Needless to say, one of them is the kingdom of Gilneth where Duten is located. After an invasion of the undead and years of seclusion, Gilneth was weak and tired up and down, and if it weren't for Duten's arrival, Gilneth would have become a werewolf at this time. Now, although he has prevented this situation from happening because of his intervention, after all, Gilneys's weakness is undeniable, and he may not be able to mobilize troops on a large scale.

And another country that is not very useful is undoubtedly the Kingdom of Kurtiras, as a seaside kingdom, Kurtiras has a world-famous large fleet. In the Second Orc War, Daelyn Prodmore, the lord of Kurtilas, served as the Admiral of the Alliance, commanding all the navies of the Alliance, and partnered with Anduin Lothar to destroy all the Orcs' land, sea and air forces, contributing to the Alliance's victory. He even took control of the oil refinery in Stratholme, providing the entire fleet with all the supplies it needed. However, although he and the alliance won the second war, there is no doubt that both the kingdom of Kul Tiras of Dalin and the entire alliance have been greatly damaged by this battle, and they have not been able to recover so far.

Not to mention Kurtilas, in order to destroy the will of the orcs to resist, in order to destroy the orc's navy, Daylin can be said to have done his best, but what was the result? The orcs eventually succeeded in crossing westward, and Kul Tiras's losses were almost irretrievable.

As the Third War began to emerge and the Undead Scourge began to rise, Kurtilas sent his last remaining warships to fight the Scourge, but to little avail. Not only did he fail to destroy the undead, but even the money bag of Stratholme was lost.

Finally, Admiral Dalin's daughter, the powerful female mage Gianna Proudmoor, crossed west to Kalimdor with half of the remaining ships. A few months later, Admiral Dalin, who believed that Lordaeron would be doomed, left Arthas before he could destroy Lordaeron, citing the need for help from his daughter.

After that, Kul Tiras lost Admiral Dalin Plodmore and his daughter Gianna, who had set out for Kalimdor. The only remaining member of the Proudmoor family, Tamred, now rules the region. This young man is said to be a very capable young man, but unfortunately he only has the strength to defend it, but he has no ability to expand, and the huge fleet has no possibility of recovery, and he wants to count on them...... Utter nonsense.

At this point, two of the four remaining kingdoms of mankind have no possibility of sending troops.

As for the remaining two, the Storm Kingdom is too far away for the distant water to save the near fire. And Dalaran, the madmen who only knew how to study magic, didn't care about what was going on in the outside world, and that didn't change until Akmund came and destroyed him.

So to sum up, in the northern region of the Eastern Continent today, only the High Elves are left who can effectively contain the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Undead Disaster.

The High Elves are worthy of being a race that has lasted for 10,000 years, and they want to have a population and strength, except for some arrogance and inflexibility, they are definitely the most suitable candidates.

However, it seems that the High Elves alone will not be enough to stop the undead.

After all, this is an army of nearly 200,000 people, and there are many high-level undead among them, and these high-level undead are even more difficult to deal with, and even between the powerhouses of the same level, it takes several people to eliminate one. Therefore, if you want to weaken the undead as much as possible, you need another powerful force - the Knights of the Silver Hand!

The Knights of the Silver Hand was founded in the First War as a branch organization of 4 warriors and 1 priest to fight against the powerful evil powers and attacks of the orcs. This squad can be seen as a special forces against the use of evil orcs. There are not many people who can master both the light and the skill of war, but they are very effective against orcs, and can easily tear through the enemy's defenses.

Later, as more and more people joined, this Holy Light squad began to have a strong fighting power. Arthas's teacher, Uther Lightbringer, was the previous leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand. However, with his death, the Knights of the Silver Hand were nearly wiped out, and the remaining members began to be at a loss. Most joined the nascent Scarlet Crusade, while a few dissatisfied with the Scarlet Doctrine formed the Silver Dawn Order.

Although it is divided, it has to be said that these paladins who have mastered both holy light and combat skills are the best choice for dealing with the undead. The priest is also very good, but the priest is too fragile and relatively weak in combat, and it is not the same path as the paladin at all.

If you can get these paladins in your pocket......

Du Teng had to give up just after the idea arose, the earlier Silver Hand, to the later Silver Dawn, would hardly be controlled by someone or a certain force, they would only fight for all of humanity. Of course, the sentiments of these people are noble and great, but it is precisely because of their special systems that they are not suitable to become someone's subordinates, even if they are willing, Du Teng may not dare to accept it.

The devil knows when these guys will raise their butcher knives against him because of the righteousness in their hearts, and he can't guarantee that everything he does is righteous enough, so after thinking about it, he still decided not to subdue these paladins. It's best if the paladin can be used by him, if not, then it's better to let it go than to become a time bomb and a sign of danger after he gets it.

Of course, paladins aren't all dogmatic characters, there are always some more lively, less disciplined guys. If this kind of person is encountered, Du Teng is not unable to accept it, the power of the paladin is very important, the number of paladins in the human race is not very large at present, and it will not develop greatly in the human kingdom until the undead natural disaster completely occupies most of the eastern kingdom, but it is far from now.

Retracting his thoughts, he looked up at the undead army in the distance.

I don't know what Arthas was thinking, but he actually ordered the undead to stop the attack, no matter what conspiracy he had, for Duten, for the High Elves, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

"Ready to ......"

Duten gave the order to transfer. Although many of the High Elves were dissatisfied with his orders, and they didn't know whether they were dissatisfied with him or his orders, in short, many people wanted to speak and stopped, but they all held back, and the command was handed over to Du Teng was an order given by Olena, even though these soldiers were dissatisfied in a thousand ways, but they were not so disobedient as to openly disobey the orders of the commander.

So, except for the team that was determined to die, the other teams began to gather quickly, and then cautiously retreated along the road towards the north.

There were more than 10,000 defenders left in Taquilin, and thousands of men were killed and wounded.

The town is in shambles, with broken houses, damaged farmland, and broken arms all over the ground, all showing the tragedy of this battle.

Many elves calmed down and showed sad expressions when they saw the situation around them.

Among the elves who died in battle, some were their companions, some were their brothers, some were their fathers or sons, and the ranks of the High Elves were soon filled with sadness and anger, and many of the elves' eyes were red, and they turned their heads to look at the undead in the distance and almost ate people.

But the order had to be carried out, and even though the anger in their hearts almost consumed them, they had to turn their heads and walk into the distance.

And the undead, I really don't know why, didn't attack first.

Du Teng stood on the hillside next to Taquelin, watching the last troops in charge of the break slowly withdraw from Taquelin, while the undead still watched motionlessly, it was really weird...... Du Teng racked his brains and couldn't think of the target of the undead, so he could only stop thinking about it and focus all his attention on the transfer of troops.

There are no more defenses north of Taquiline, and the most important defensive front in the southern part of the Eternal Song Forest - that is, the future Wraith Land - is the two major temples and the first line of Taquiline, and the rest like the Tower of Windranger, Windranger Village, Golden Mist Village, Corona Village, etc., can only protect themselves from being attacked at most, and it is not enough to serve as the defensive core of a land.

The only one who can do all of this is Taquilin.

But at this moment, the undead army was too strong, and they had to choose to retreat, placing the battle line in the area of Qingfeng Village in the north of the Yongge Forest.

Theoretically, the terrain there is more suitable for defensive battles, and more suitable for defense than here in Taquilin.

But it was too close to Silvermoon City, so close that as long as it was breached, the entire Music City would be in no danger.

The High Elves' Silvermoon City is not the same as Gilneth City.

The city of Gilneth is where the entire kingdom is located, and the city wall is the most important means of defense, so the city wall is very strong, and the city gate also has more than a dozen defense measures, and it is very difficult to break through by brute force from the outside.

And what about Silvermoon City? Because of the existence of several levels and magical defense shields, although Silvermoon City is magnificent, its defense power is obviously insufficient. Especially at the city gate, there is no city gate, only a doorway!

If it's peacetime, it really doesn't matter, just empty the door makes the city more beautiful, from the door to the inside.

But now is a time of war, and such a city that has no danger to defend, once the outer defense line is broken, it can only be filled with human lives. When all the people are dead, when the city is broken. With the pride of the High Elves, they were more than capable of doing this.

……

On the way to retreat, everyone in the entire team walked forward silently without saying a word, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was frightening.

Not long after the team entered the northern part of the Yongge Forest, a chocobo flew closer, and the soldiers in the front team hurriedly drew their weapons, but when they saw the people above, they put away their weapons one after another.

Almost all of them bowed to the visitor with respectful expressions.

Du Teng looked ahead curiously, only one glance...... Well, he roughly guessed the identity of the other party.

The person who came was a female elf, her body rising and falling with the chocobo's running movements, a pair of long legs sandwiched between the sides of the chocobo, her chest towering, because it was protected by leather armor, so there was no legendary - shaking?

With long golden hair draped casually behind his head, a long bow behind his back, and a short sword at his waist, the whole person was heroic and capable.

And how to describe the face under the golden hair? Even though Du Teng has experienced many worlds and is used to seeing countless beauties, and beauties of this level are still very rare, no, or rather, among the beauties he has seen now, there are only a handful of people who can compare with this woman.

It is said that the elves are rich in handsome guys and beauties, but such a beautiful woman is probably not easy to see in the elves who are the darlings of nature.

And she was also respected by so many soldiers.

She is also pretty, has been respected by most soldiers and even takes the initiative to salute, is good at making bows, and has blonde hair...... If you can't guess the identity of the other party in this way, Du Teng simply hit his head and died.

When the other party approached and just stopped, Du Teng stepped forward and sat on the horse to stroke his chest.

"I've heard of the name of General Windranger for a long time, and today I finally met the real person, and it really deserves its name."

Du Teng looked at each other with a grin.

Sylvanas was slightly stunned and saluted as well.

"How dare you let His Royal Highness the Prince praise him so much, but His Royal Highness the Prince, led the people of Gilneth to repel the army of the undead, and also came to support us, Sylvanas on behalf of the High Elves, expresses his deep gratitude to His Royal Highness."

In terms of status, Duten is undoubtedly higher than Sylvanas.

In any case, Gilneth is a kingdom, Quel'Salas is a kingdom, and Duten is a prince of a kingdom, a line of succession and the only heir, and if nothing else, there is no doubt that he will become the king of Gilneis. And what about Sylvanas? The Windrangers are indeed one of the oldest families in Quel'Salas, but they are not royal after all, and they can be great generals, but not the king of Quel'Thalas.

So there is a certain gap between the identities of the two.

Duten only needs to bow slightly, but Sylvanas must bow more respectfully to be not ashamed. (To be continued.) )
